1t has been said that in any Leglela-
ture composed OF one lawyer and 100
farmers ;ne former will control the latter.
The House o: Representatives OF the Gen
cral Assembly OF Georgia contains eighty
eight farmers. Ii also contains number
Of IaWy ers, some Of whom are skilled in
legislation and parliamentary law. Dur
ins the last session repeated efforts were
made by the lawyer members TO cOu-
troll the farmer members, but with
poor success. This was eSpeci-
ally true where tho appropriation
OF money Tas contemplated. The
lawyer members would argue with all
the force their peculiar training made
possible, and the farmer members would
listen with admirable patience, but, as
rule, the latter would vote solidly against
any scheme which required the use OF the
States money. In TINS way the appoint
ment ot several committees, thought 10
he important, was prevented, IL being
proposed that they should Sit during the
recess, and, Of course, that their expenses
should be paid by the State. Perhaps the
farmer members were right, for t1e ses-
slons of the General Assembly are long
enough 20 allow all important le gislation
10 receive proper attention. Experience
has shown, however, that every session
closes with important measures post
poned for future action, and there is IN
consequence more or less complaint.
There is 4 way to prevent the postpone
ment of measures such as have been
mentioned, and, except In rare cases, 10
obviate the appointment OF committees
TO sit during the recess. All that il nee
essary Is that the sessions shall be
strictly devoted TO business. 1t is the
custom to consume but a few hours each
day during the greater part of the ses-
sions, and adjournments from Friday
until Monday are frequent. Business,
therefore, progresses slowly. When the
final adjournment is near there is haste
which does not hurry legislation, but
which merely results in further waste OF
time. During the last days Of the last
session great deal OF time was con-
suned by members who Valnly sought TO
have their tavorite measures acted upon
out of their regular order. In one in
stance an entire day was thus wasted.
1t Is the custom Of botn houses Of the
General Assembly to meet at 10 O'clock
and adjourn at l O'Clock. II, from
the very first day OF the sessions,
they should meet at 8 O'Clock and adjourn
at II, and then meet again at and adj
journ Ut 4, no time would be wasted and
all importan, measures would receive
attention. This plan would leave ample
time for committee meetings, because it
was proven during the last session that
even when the two houses met morning,
afternoon, and night, the committees did
not lack time to properly consider the
business before them.
The reform indicated is needed, and
both lawyer members and farmer men,
bers would do the State valuable service
if they should unite in bringing it about
at the approaching summer session.
